Potential Return
Risk
In general, greater returns are associated with greater risks and increased risks create the potential for greater losses.
The reports concerning the Funds included in this shareholder report may contain certain forward-looking statements about the factors that may affect the performance of the Funds in the future. These statements are based on Fund management’s predictions and expectations concerning certain future events and their expected impact on the Funds, such as performance of the economy as a whole and of specific industry sectors, changes in the levels of interest rates, the impact of developing world events, and other factors that may influence the future performance of the Funds. The Commerce Investment Advisors, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Commerce”) believes these forward-looking statements to be reasonable, although they are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Actual events may cause adjustments in portfolio management strategies from those currently expected to be employed.
References to a specific company’s securities should not be construed as a recommendation or investment advice and there can be no assurance that as of the date of publication of this report, the securities mentioned in each Fund’s portfolio are still held or that the securities sold have not been repurchased.

Performance Summaries
April 30, 2016 (Unaudited)
The following is performance information for the Commerce Funds for various time periods. The returns represent past performance. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The Funds’ investment returns and principal values will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The Funds are not subject to a sales charge, so a sales charge is not applied to their total returns. In addition to the Adviser’s decisions regarding issuer/industry investment selection and allocation, other factors may affect Fund performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, Fund operating fees and expenses, portfolio turnover, and subscription and redemption cash flows affecting the Funds. Please visit our website at www.commercefunds.com to obtain the most recent month-end returns.

The Commerce Funds (the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end, management investment company. The Trust consists of eight portfolios (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”): Growth Fund, Value Fund, MidCap Growth Fund, Bond Fund, Short-Term Government Fund, National Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund, Missouri Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund and Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund. Each of the Funds offers one class of shares (the “Shares”). Each Fund is registered as a diversified open-end management investment company, except the Missouri Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund and the Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund, which are registered as non-diversified under the Act.
The Funds have entered into an Advisory Agreement with Commerce Investment Advisors, Inc. (the “Adviser” or “Commerce”), a subsidiary of Commerce Bank.
| | |
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | | |
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which require management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions.
A. Investment Valuation — The Funds’ valuation policy is to value investments at fair value.
B. Investment Income and Investments — Investment income is comprised of interest income and dividend income. Interest income is accrued daily and adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recognized on ex-dividend date. Investment transactions are reflected on trade date with realized gains and losses on sales calculated using identified cost. Investment transactions are recorded on the following business day for daily net asset value (“NAV”) calculations. Distributions received from the Funds’ investments in United States (“U.S.”) real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain or a return of capital. A return of capital is recorded by the Funds as a reduction to the cost basis of the REIT.
For securities with paydown provisions, principal payments received are treated as a proportionate reduction to the cost basis of the securities and excess or shortfall amounts are recorded as gains or losses.
C. Expenses — Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not specifically relate to an individual Fund of the Trust are allocated to the Funds based on each Fund’s average net assets and are accrued daily.
D. Federal Taxes and Distributions to Shareholders — It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), applicable to regulated investment companies (mutual funds) and to distribute each year substantially all of its investment company taxable income and capital gains to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Funds are not required to make any provisions for the payment of federal income tax. Distributions to

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) | | |
shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gains distributions, if any, are declared and paid according to the following schedule:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Income Distribution | | Capital Gains Distribution |
Fund | | Declared | | Paid | | Declared | | Paid |
Value | | Quarterly | | Quarterly | | Annually | | Annually |
Growth and MidCap Growth | | Annually | | Annually | | Annually | | Annually |
Bond, Short-Term Government, National Tax-Free Intermediate Bond, Missouri Tax-Free Intermediate Bond and Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond | | Daily | | Monthly | | Annually | | Annually |
Net capital losses are carried forward to future fiscal years and may be used to the extent allowed by the Code to offset any future capital gains. Utilization of capital loss carryforwards will reduce the requirement of future capital gains distributions.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
The characterization of distributions to shareholders for financial reporting purposes is determined in accordance with federal income tax rules, which may differ from GAAP. The source of each Fund’s distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as from net investment income, net realized gain or capital. Certain components of the Funds’ net assets on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities reflect permanent GAAP/tax differences based on the appropriate tax character.

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | | |
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price). GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The levels used for classifying investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these investments. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk), either directly or indirectly;
Level 3 — Prices or valuations that require significant unobservable inputs (including the Adviser’s assumptions in determining fair value measurement).

3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) | | |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the hierarchy. In accordance with the Funds’ policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy resulting from such changes are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period.
The Trust’s Board of Trustees has adopted valuation procedures (“Valuation Procedures”) that govern the valuation of the portfolio investments held by the Funds, including investments for which market quotations are not readily available. The Board of Trustees has delegated to Commerce day-to-day responsibility for implementing and maintaining internal controls and procedures related to the valuation of the Funds’ portfolio investments. To assess the continuing appropriateness of pricing sources and methodologies, Commerce regularly performs price verification procedures and issues challenges as necessary to third party pricing vendors or brokers, and any differences are reviewed in accordance with the Valuation Procedures.
A. Level 1 and Level 2 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 1 and Level 2 are as follows:
Equity Securities — Equity securities and investment companies traded on a U.S. securities exchange or the NASDAQ system are valued daily at their last sale price or official closing price on the principal exchange or system on which they are traded. If there is no sale or official closing price or it is believed by the Adviser to not represent fair value, equity securities and exchange traded investment companies are valued at the last bid price. Investments in investment companies (other than those that are exchange traded) are valued at the NAV on the valuation date. To the extent these investments are actively traded, they are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, otherwise they are classified as Level 2.
Unlisted equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price on the valuation date, or if no sale occurs, at the last bid price. Investments applying these valuation adjustments are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Debt Securities — Debt securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued daily on the basis of quotations furnished by an independent pricing service or provided by securities dealers. The pricing services may use valuation models or matrix pricing, which consider yield or price with respect to comparable bonds, quotations from bond dealers or by reference to other securities that are considered comparable in characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity date, to determine current value. Short-term debt obligations that mature in sixty days or less and that do not exhibit signs of credit deterioration are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. With the exception of treasury securities, which are generally classified as Level 1, these investments are generally classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities — Mortgage-backed securities represent direct or indirect participations in, or are collateralized by and payable from, mortgage loans secured by residential and/or commercial real estate property. Asset-backed securities include securities whose principal and interest payments are collateralized by pools of other assets. The value of certain mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities (including adjustable rate mortgage loans) may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. The value of these securities may also fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuers.
Asset-backed securities may present credit risks that are not presented by mortgage-backed securities because they generally do not have the benefit of a security interest in collateral that is comparable to mortgage assets. Some asset-backed securities may only have a subordinated claim on collateral.

COMMERCE FUNDS
| | |
3. INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued) | | |
Collateralized mortgage-backed securities (“CMOs”) may exhibit even more price volatility and interest rate risk than other mortgage-backed securities. They may lose liquidity as CMO market makers may choose not to repurchase, or may offer prices, based on current market conditions, that are unacceptable to a Fund based on the Adviser’s analysis of the market value of the security.
Short Term Investments — Short-term investments having a maturity of 60 days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. With the exception of treasury securities, which are generally classified as Level 1, these investments are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Repurchase Agreements — Repurchase agreements involve the purchase of securities subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price, under the terms of a Master Repurchase Agreement (“MRA”). During the term of a repurchase agreement, the value of the underlying securities held as collateral on behalf of a Fund, including accrued interest, is required to exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, including accrued interest. The underlying securities for all repurchase agreements are held at the Funds’ custodian or designated sub-custodians under tri-party repurchase agreements.
An MRA governs transactions between a Fund and select counterparties. An MRA contains provisions for, among other things, initiation, income payments, and events of default and maintenance of securities for repurchase agreements. An MRA also permits offsetting with collateral to create one single net payment in the event of default or similar events, including the bankruptcy or insolvency of a counterparty.
If the seller defaults, a Fund could suffer a loss to the extent that the proceeds from the sale of the underlying securities and other collateral held by the Fund are less than the repurchase price and the Fund’s costs associated with delay and enforcement of the repurchase agreement. In addition, in the event of default or insolvency of the seller, a court could determine that a Fund’s interest in the collateral is not enforceable, resulting in additional losses to the Fund.
B. Level 3 Fair Value Investments — The valuation techniques and significant inputs used in determining the fair values for investments classified as Level 3 are as follows:
To the extent that the aforementioned significant inputs are unobservable, or if quotations are not readily available, or if Commerce believes that such quotations do not accurately reflect fair value, the fair value of a Fund’s investments may be determined under valuation procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Commerce, consistent with the Funds’ procedures and applicable regulatory guidance, may make an adjustment to the most recent valuation prices of either domestic or foreign securities in light of significant events to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities at the time of determining a Fund’s NAV. Significant events that could affect a large number of securities in a particular market may include, but are not limited to: significant fluctuations in U.S. or foreign markets; market dislocations; market disruptions; or unscheduled market closings. Significant events that could also affect a single issuer may include, but are not limited to: corporate actions such as reorganizations, mergers and buy-outs; ratings downgrades; and bankruptcies.

6. TAX INFORMATION (continued) | | |
Commerce and GSAM have reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all open tax years (the current and prior three fiscal years) and have concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. These open tax years remain subject to examination and adjustment by tax authorities.
The Funds’ risks include, but are not limited to, the following:
Credit Risks — The fixed income funds are subject to credit risks because an issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security may be unable or unwilling to make interest and principal payments when due. A bond’s value could decline because of concerns about an issuer’s willingness to make such payments.
Interest Rate Risks — Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of the Fund’s portfolio will decline because of rising interest rates. The magnitude of this decline will often be greater for longer-term, fixed-income securities than shorter-term securities.
Market Risks — In the normal course of business, the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to changes in the market (market risk).
Portfolio Concentrations — The Missouri Tax-Free Intermediate Bond and Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Funds invest a large percentage of their assets in obligations of issuers within Missouri and Kansas, respectively. Therefore, they are subject to possible concentration risks associated with economic, political or legal developments or industrial or regional matters specifically affecting those states.
Under normal market conditions, the Missouri Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund and the Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund invest at least 80% of their assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes (measured at the time of purchase) in Missouri and Kansas municipal securities, respectively, the income from which, in the opinion of bond counsel, is exempt from regular federal income tax, federal alternative minimum taxes and Missouri and Kansas state taxes, respectively. Alternatively, at least 80% of a Fund’s distributed income must be exempt from such taxes. For each of the Missouri and Kansas Tax-Free Funds, the actual payment of principal and interest on Missouri and Kansas municipal securities is dependent on the Missouri General Assembly and the Kansas legislature, respectively, allotting money each fiscal year for these payments.
The investments of the Growth and MidCap Growth Funds may be concentrated in securities of technology companies. At times, securities of technology companies may experience significant price fluctuations. The MidCap Growth Fund concentrates in mid-cap stocks. Investing in mid-sized companies may be riskier than investing in larger, more established companies.
The Bond and Short-Term Government Funds may invest 80% and 100%, respectively, of their total assets in mortgage-related securities and the Bond Fund may invest 80% of its total assets in asset-backed securities. Mortgage-backed securities, especially collateralized mortgage-backed securities, may be subject to risks that include price volatility, liquidity, and enhanced sensitivity to interest rates. As a result, mortgage-backed securities may be more difficult to value and liquidate, if necessary. Mortgage-backed securities are also subject to prepayment risk, which may result in a decreased rate of return and a decline in the value of the securities. Asset-backed securities are dependent upon payment of the underlying consumer loans or receivables by individuals, and the certificate holder frequently has no recourse against the entity that originated the loans or receivables. Asset-backed securities have a greater risk of default during periods of economic downturn than other securities. Also, asset-backed securities may be less liquid than other securities and therefore more difficult to value and liquidate, if necessary.

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its trustees, officers, employees and agents are indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act and state law, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, in their experience, Commerce and GSAM believe the risk of loss under these arrangements to be remote.
Approval of Advisory Agreement — The Trustees oversee the management of the Trust, and review the investment performance and expenses of the Funds at regularly scheduled meetings held during the Funds’ fiscal year. In addition, the Trustees determine annually whether to reapprove and continue the Trust’s Advisory Agreement with the Adviser for the Funds.
The Advisory Agreement was most recently approved by the Trustees, including all of the Trustees who are not parties to the Advisory Agreement or “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Act) of any party thereto (the “non-interested Trustees”), on November 17, 2015 (the “Annual Contract Meeting”).
Prior to the Annual Contract Meeting, the Board of Trustees received written materials provided by the Adviser relating to the Trustees’ consideration of the Advisory Agreement. At the Annual Contract Meeting, the Trustees also received and considered the Adviser’s oral presentations and discussed the information that had been provided. In connection with their deliberations, the disinterested Trustees were advised by their independent legal counsel regarding their responsibilities under applicable law and met separately in executive session with independent counsel without members of management present.
In evaluating the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of the Adviser and its services and personnel. Both in meetings specifically dedicated to the review of the Advisory Agreement and meetings held during the year, the Trustees reviewed materials relating to the Adviser’s investment management services. Specifically, the Trustees reviewed, among other things, information relating to: (i) the terms of the Advisory Agreement; (ii) the Funds’ investment performance over different time periods in comparison to the investment performance of mutual fund peer categories selected by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”), a third-party provider of mutual fund data; (iii) the contractual investment advisory fees, the actual investment advisory fees (after expense reimbursements) and the total expenses borne by the Funds in comparison to those borne by mutual fund peer groups selected by Lipper; (iv) the Adviser’s staffing for the Funds and the experience of the portfolio managers and other investment personnel; (v) the fees paid by the Funds to the Adviser and its affiliates for services, and the expenses incurred by them in connection with the provision of those services, the profitability of the Advisory Agreement to the Adviser, and a comparison of the Adviser’s profitability with publicly reported profitability information of other advisers; (vi) information about fees charged to institutional accounts for which an affiliate of the Adviser, Commerce Trust Company (“CTC”), was performing services similar to those performed for the Funds; and (vii) potential economies of scale.
In connection with their approval of the Advisory Agreement for each of the Funds, the Trustees gave weight to various factors, but did not identify any single factor as controlling their decision. As part of their review, the Trustees considered the following factors:
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services – The Trustees reviewed the nature, quality and extent of the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds, bearing in mind each Fund’s investment objectives and strategies and the information received from
72
COMMERCE FUNDS

9. OTHER MATTERS (continued) | | |
management throughout the year. The Trustees considered the resources available to the Adviser and its key investment personnel, including members of the staff who operated the quantitative model, and their experience and length of service to the Funds. The Trustees also discussed the Adviser’s reports to the Board, compliance record, risk management program and effectiveness of oversight over the Funds’ other service providers, communications to and support services for shareholders, services provided to the Funds as their co-administrator, adherence to investment policies, execution of portfolio transactions, cybersecurity program, selection of broker dealers and other similar factors.
The Trustees determined that the Adviser had invested significant resources in the Funds and provided a seasoned and experienced portfolio management and compliance staff. Moreover, they considered that the Adviser had a highly disciplined money management and credit research and analytic process and was able to attract and retain high quality personnel. The Trustees also considered that the Adviser had provided clear, concise reports to the Board and updated the Trustees frequently on performance issues. In particular, they noted the Adviser’s efforts to correct the underperformance of the Equity Funds in recent years, including the enhancements made to the quantitative models of the Growth and MidCap Growth Funds to focus on lower volatility stocks. They concluded that the Adviser had (i) an excellent compliance record, and (ii) provided strong compliance oversight over the other service providers to the Funds. The Trustees also discussed that the Funds’ audits and regulatory exams had been clean and that the Adviser had made significant commitments to address regulatory requirements applicable to the Funds and the Adviser. Finally, the Trustees considered that the Adviser and its affiliates had other client relationships with most of the Funds’ shareholders and provided them with other services through these relationships. The Trustees concluded that the Funds would therefore benefit from the Adviser’s continued service to them.
Performance of the Funds – The Trustees considered both the short-term and long-term performance of each of the Funds. They also considered performance in light of market conditions and each Fund’s investment objectives and strategies including risk and credit parameters, if applicable. They reviewed and discussed the Lipper and other information presented, which compared each Fund’s performance with that of its benchmark and with the performance of comparable funds identified by Lipper.
The Trustees considered the Value Fund’s strong performance during the past year and noted that although the three-year performance figure continued to lag, performance over the five- and ten-year periods exceeded the Lipper category and benchmark. The Trustees observed that the MidCap Growth Fund’s returns exceeded those of the Lipper category over the past three years as a result of changes made by the Adviser to its quantitative model, including significant outperformance relative to its peers in recent months, although they noted its benchmark performance lagged for the same period. With respect to the Growth Fund, the Trustees considered that the Fund’s returns exceeded the Lipper category and beat the benchmark for the one-year timeframe but lagged the category and benchmark for longer periods of time. The Board discussed that the increase in returns in the past year seemed to be largely attributable to changes Commerce made to its quantitative investment model. The Trustees believed that the improved performance of the Growth and MidCap Growth Funds demonstrated that the enhancements to their quantitative models were working, and they determined that they would continue to monitor the effects of these changes.
The Trustees believed that the performance of the Fixed Income Funds was very satisfactory over all time periods. They noted that the returns of the Fixed Income Funds had finished ahead of the Lipper category for most recent time periods, although benchmark performance lagged for some periods. In particular, the Trustees considered that: the returns of the National Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund exceeded the Lipper category in all time periods, except the three-year, and that benchmark performance often lagged; and the Missouri Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund’s and Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund’s returns outpaced their Lipper category in all time periods but often lagged the benchmark. The Trustees discussed that the Bond Fund’s returns had exceeded the Lipper category for all time periods and the benchmark for the three-, five- and
73
COMMERCE FUNDS

ten-year periods and that the Short-Term Government Fund’s returns had also exceeded the Lipper category for all time periods while at the same time lagging the benchmark.
Fund Fees and Expenses – The Trustees next reviewed each Fund’s advisory fees and net expense ratios versus similar funds as presented in the Lipper information. They observed that the advisory fees for the Bond, Short-Term Government, National Tax-Free Intermediate Bond, and Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Funds were generally higher than those of their peers, while those for the Value, Growth, MidCap Growth and Missouri Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Funds were generally lower. They also discussed the impact of recent advisory fee reductions for the Growth and MidCap Growth Funds. The Trustees considered that except for the Growth, Bond, MidCap Growth and Value Funds, net expenses for the Funds were higher than those of their peers. The Trustees noted that where Fund expenses were higher, it was within a range of 1-9 basis points and that net expenses for each of the Equity Funds were at least 20 basis points lower than those of their peers. The Trustees considered the amount of assets in the Funds, the Funds’ share structure and the Adviser’s caps on total operating expenses for each of the Funds (except the MidCap Growth Fund), and the reimbursements made by the Adviser to maintain those caps. The Trustees also considered the Lipper expense versus three-year performance charts in determining whether shareholders were generally receiving value for the services provided by the Adviser.
The Trustees also reviewed information provided on the Funds’ advisory fees compared to advisory fees charged by the Adviser’s affiliate to similar institutional accounts managed by Commerce personnel. The Trustees considered that these accounts were not managed by the Adviser but by its affiliate, CTC; however, some of the Adviser’s same investment personnel provided these advisory services. In some cases, the fees charged to institutional accounts were lower than the fees charged to the Funds and in other cases the fees were about the same or higher. More particularly, for the Growth strategy, the Growth Fund’s advisory fees were generally in the middle of fees charged to CTC’s similar institutional accounts; the Bond, MidCap Growth and Short-Term Government Funds’ advisory fees were generally higher than other similar institutional accounts; and the Value Fund’s advisory fees were lower than most other similar institutional accounts. The Trustees were told that there were no similar institutional account strategies for any of the Tax-Free Funds. The Trustees noted that the Adviser provided significant additional services for the Funds that its affiliate did not provide to non-mutual fund clients, including administrative services, oversight of the Funds’ other service providers, Trustee support, regulatory compliance, risk management monitoring and numerous other services, and that in servicing the Funds, the Adviser assumed many legal risks that its affiliate did not assume in servicing many of its similar clients.
Costs of Services and Profits Realized by the Adviser – The Board considered the Adviser’s cost of providing advisory services to the Funds, both on a pre- and post-marketing cost basis, as well as its profitability. The Trustees considered that the Adviser had reduced its advisory fees for the Growth and MidCap Growth Funds in 2015 pursuant to a Fee Reduction Commitment, under which the Funds’ advisory fees were permanently reduced and the advisory fee for the MidCap Growth Fund was made subject to a breakpoint. It was also noted the Adviser’s cost allocation methodology had not changed. The Trustees discussed that the Adviser appeared to have a rigorous and consistent program in place to control Fund expenses, noting that total net expense ratios for seven of the eight Funds had decreased or remained the same since the previous year. They observed that even as the Funds’ overall net assets had increased over the previous year, the Adviser’s profitability had decreased. The Trustees considered the Adviser’s profitability in light of the profitability of other investment advisers’ publicly-reported profitability margins, as provided by Lipper, and noted that it was below the Lipper average profitability. The Board took into account, however, that profitability varies significantly based on an asset manager’s business, products, services and other factors, making comparisons somewhat unreliable.

9. OTHER MATTERS (continued) | | |
Economies of Scale – The Trustees considered that the Funds (other than the Value Fund and the Growth Fund) had breakpoints in their respective advisory fee schedules and that the Growth and MidCap Growth Funds had recently experienced significant advisory fee reductions. In addition, the Trustees considered that the Adviser was reimbursing expenses to certain of the Funds to keep them within their fee caps.
Fall-Out Benefits – The Trustees considered that the Adviser benefitted from its relationship with the Funds through receipt of soft dollars, its contract as a Co-Administrator of the Funds, CTC’s receipt of shareholder servicing fees and the Funds’ contribution to the scale of Commerce’s advisory business. The Trustees considered that they receive regular, extensive quarterly reports on the Adviser’s soft dollar program and that its program was in compliance with Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The Trustees concluded at the Annual Contract Meeting with respect to all of the Funds that the investment advisory fees paid by the Funds were reasonable in light of the services provided by the Adviser, Fund performance, the Adviser’s costs and the Funds’ current and reasonably foreseeable asset levels as well as the fallout benefits to the Adviser. For these reasons, the Board determined that the Advisory Agreement should be reapproved and continued.
Subsequent events after the Statement of Assets and Liabilities date have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued. Commerce and GSAM have concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

COMMERCE FUNDS
Fund Expenses – Six Month Period Ended April 30, 2016 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Funds you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; shareholder servicing fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2015 through April 30, 2016.
Actual Expenses — The first line in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000=8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The second line in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual net expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as exchange fees, but shareholders of other funds may incur such costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

COMMERCE FUNDS
The Commerce Funds
Growth Fund:
The Fund is subject to market risk so that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular industry sectors and/or general economic conditions. Investments in technology companies, which may produce or use products or services that prove commercially unsuccessful or become obsolete, may be subject to greater price volatility than securities of companies in other sectors. The Fund is also subject to quantitative model risk, which is the risk that securities selected using quantitative models may perform differently from the market as a whole for many reasons, including the factors used in building the model and the weights placed on each factor, among others. The quantitative model used by the Adviser to manage the Fund may not perform as expected, particularly in volatile markets.
Value Fund:
The Fund is subject to market risk so that the value of the securities in which it invests may go up or down in response to the prospects of individual companies, particular industry sectors and/or general economic conditions. The Fund is also subject to quantitative model risk, which is the risk that securities selected using quantitative models may perform differently from the market as a whole for many reasons, including the factors used in building the model and the weights placed on each factor, among others. The quantitative model used by the Adviser to manage the Fund may not perform as expected, particularly in volatile markets.
MidCap Growth Fund:
The Fund invests in small- and mid-capitalization securities. Generally, smaller and mid-sized companies are more vulnerable to adverse developments because of more limited product lines, markets or financial resources. As a result, the securities of smaller and mid-sized companies involve greater risks than those associated with larger, more established companies and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic trading and price movements. Investments in technology companies, which may produce or use products or services that prove commercially unsuccessful or become obsolete, may be subject to greater price volatility than securities of companies in other sectors. The Fund is also subject to quantitative model risk, which is the risk that securities selected using quantitative models may perform differently from the market as a whole for many reasons, including the factors used in building the model and the weights placed on each factor, among others. The quantitative model used by the Adviser to manage the Fund may not perform as expected, particularly in volatile markets.
Bond Fund:
Investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities including credit and interest rate risk. The guarantee on U.S. government securities applies only to the underlying securities of the Fund if held to maturity and not to the value of the Fund’s shares. Mortgage-backed securities, especially collateralized mortgage-backed securities, may be subject to risks that include price volatility, liquidity and enhanced sensitivity to interest rates. Asset-backed securities may be less liquid than other securities and therefore more difficult to value and liquidate, if necessary.
Short-Term Government Fund:
Investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities including credit and interest rate risk. The guarantee on U.S. government securities applies only to the underlying securities of the Fund if held to maturity and not to the value of the Fund’s shares. Mortgage-backed securities, especially collateralized mortgage-backed securities, may be subject to risks that include price volatility, liquidity and enhanced sensitivity to interest rates.

COMMERCE FUNDS
The Commerce Funds (continued)
National Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund:
Investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities including credit and interest rate risk. Investments in municipal securities can be significantly affected by political changes as well as uncertainties in the municipal market related to taxation or legislative changes. The Fund’s investments may subject shareholders to the federal alternative minimum tax and state income taxes.
Missouri Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund:
Investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities including credit and interest rate risk. The Fund invests its assets predominately in Missouri bonds. The actual payment of principal and interest on these bonds is dependent on the Missouri General Assembly allotting money each fiscal year for these payments. The Fund is non-diversified. Due to the small number of bonds generally held in the portfolio, the Fund may be subject to greater risks than a more diversified fund. A change in the value of any single holding may affect the overall value more than it would affect a diversified fund that holds more investments. Investments in municipal securities can be significantly affected by political changes as well as uncertainties in the municipal market related to taxation or legislative changes. In addition, the Fund’s investments may subject shareholders to federal alternative minimum tax. The investment income from this Fund may be subject to state income taxes.
Kansas Tax-Free Intermediate Bond Fund:
Investments in fixed income securities are subject to the risks associated with debt securities including credit and interest rate risk. The Fund invests its assets predominately in Kansas bonds. The actual payment of principal and interest on these bonds is dependent on the Kansas legislature allotting money each fiscal year for these payments. The Fund is non-diversified. Due to the small number of bonds generally held in the portfolio, the Fund may be subject to greater risks than a more diversified fund. A change in the value of any single holding may affect the overall value more than it would affect a diversified fund that holds more investments. Investments in municipal securities can be significantly affected by political changes as well as uncertainties in the municipal market related to taxation or legislative changes. In addition, the Fund’s investments may subject shareholders to federal alternative minimum tax. The investment income from this Fund may be subject to state income taxes.
